Bio-Essence 24k Bio-Gold Miracle Finisher Review

Asian skincare brands have really taken off in the Western market. We’ve seen brands come across the pond and become easily accessible from UK online retailers, Bio-Essence is one of them! They are Singapore’s bestselling skincare brand, so I was intrigued to try their latest launch, the 24k Bio-Gold Miracle Finisher.

To be applied after moisturiser, the Miracle Finisher promises to protect the skin against harmful pollution and pore clogging makeup ingredients. I can imagine this would be ideal for those living in a city or even a someone who must wear heavy makeup daily.

I used the Miracle Finisher as a primer before makeup, I found it instantly smoothed out the skin and glided over any texture I had. This created the perfect base for my makeup to adhere to. It feels weightless on the skin, unlike some primers I have tried before.

The silicone texture feels like it’s creating a barrier over the skin, locking your skincare routine and moisture in, while blocking out the pollution. I imagine the Miracle Finisher would be amazing in the winter too, it would create a weightless barrier between your skin and the cold winds.

Its ingredient list contains dimethicone, a silicone ingredient, so if you prefer non-silicone primers, you might want to give this a miss. I also don’t think it would be ideal for those with extremely oily skin. However, I would highly recommend this for those with normal, combination or dry skin.

The Bio-Essence 24k Bio-Gold Miracle Finisher is £29.99, but as it acts as a final skincare step and a primer, I think the price isn’t too bad. I’d like to try more from the 24k Bio-Gold range, especially the Gold Water, which looks very intriguing!
